Sweetheart is a 1½ -year-old
pit bull mix who lives up to her
name. She’s an absolute cuddle
bug and wants nothing more
than to love on everyone who
spends time with her. She is still
very much a puppy and has lots
energy. Sweetheart hopes to fi nd
a family ready to be patient and
consistent in training her how to
be the best dog she can be! If this
girl sounds like the one you’ve
been looking for, come down to
HSCO to adopt her today! She
would surely love to snuggle with
you this holiday season!
JANEY was rescued as a wild
kitten, and she hasn’t made
the full adjustment to accepting
humans. She needs our love, but
from a distance. A warm, safe
place to live, with food, water, a
litter box and a bed, would be
ideal. That will allow Janey to
show her subtle love in return
by keeping the rodent population
under control. Come into the
shelter today to meet Janey and
all the kitties seeking a home!
